Sony told theater owners at CinemaCon that *Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse* is the last film in Miles Morales’ animated trilogy, and set it for June 18, 2027. (ign.com) The footage Sony showed in Las Vegas was unfinished and not released publicly, but attendees saw an extended sequence that picked up after the *Across the Spider-Verse* cliffhanger. Deadline reported Sony framed it as “the final chapter of Miles’ story.” (deadline.com) That date matters because the movie was once scheduled for March 29, 2024, then pulled from Sony’s calendar in July 2023 during the writers’ and actors’ strikes. Sony did not give it a new date until CinemaCon 2025, when it moved to June 4, 2027, and Polygon now reports the studio has shifted it again to June 18, 2027. (variety.com, hollywoodreporter.com, polygon.com) Sony’s pitch leans on the series’ track record. *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* won the Academy Award for best animated feature in 2019, and *Across the Spider-Verse* grossed about $690.5 million worldwide after opening to $120.7 million. (hollywoodreporter.com, boxofficemojo.com) The new footage also clarified where the story resumes. Deadline said Miles is trapped in a world without Spider-Man, hunted by Miguel O’Hara’s Spider Society, and trying to get back to his family while facing an alternate version of himself as the Prowler. (deadline.com) Sony also used the presentation to spotlight the people finishing the trilogy. Deadline listed Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson as directors, with Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham credited as writers and Lord and Miller among the producers. (deadline.com) The studio’s CinemaCon slate put two Spider-Man movies side by side. Marvel’s official site says the live-action *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, starring Tom Holland, opens on July 31, 2026, nearly 11 months before *Beyond the Spider-Verse*. (marvel.com) For fans who have been waiting since June 2023, the update was less about a trailer than a finish line. Sony is now telling exhibitors that Miles Morales’ trilogy ends in theaters on June 18, 2027. (ign.com, deadline.com)
